Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 136 Na~~~
There was a loud bang, accompanied by a puff of smoke, and the single-barreled bullet blew the stone away, splashing on the surface of the river and causing a splash of water.

Chuntao was stunned. The stone was a real stone. It was said that only a brave man who was invincible could split gold and stone, but now a woman like herself could actually do it. Her first reaction was to look at the muzzle of the gun with her eyes.

"You can't do that." Xia Lin snatched the gun away, and after ejecting the bullet three times, he handed the shotgun to Chun Tao again: "The first rule of using weapons is to never point the muzzle of the gun at yourself, otherwise if something goes wrong, the person will be dead in one shot. If this thing hits the head, there is no need to save him."

Although this shotgun was only a first-generation pump-action shotgun in Xia Lin's eyes, it was already top-notch and sophisticated in this era. Chun Tao held the shotgun in her hand and played with it for a while, then handed it to Xia Lin carefully: "Sir, this is too scary..."

"Hehe." Xia Lin stretched lazily: "Of course it's scary. It's a deadly weapon in itself."

After saying that, he lay down on the grass. The open space by the river under the bright spring sunshine was indeed a good place. Moreover, it was a shallow water area with no boats or fish. It was an absolutely secluded place. The mood was good and the sunshine was nice. There was also a beautiful Chuntao next to him. Xia Lin's little thoughts came to mind. He stretched out his hand and slid back and forth along Chuntao's back and said with a smile: "I plan to equip all my 3,500 people with one. Just thinking about it makes me feel a little excited."

Chuntao had no idea about that gun, but she knew Xia Lin's gun. As soon as his hands got naughty, Chuntao knew what the boy was going to do. In fact, she didn't care. After all, it wasn't just Xia Lin who was happy. It was just that in this place...

"Sir, this place... is not protected from the sun, I'm afraid it's not good, right?"

Xia Lin chuckled: "Then what do you think we should do?"

In fact, everyone was familiar with each other now, and this was not the first or second time. Chuntao knew what was in his mind as soon as she saw his sly smile.

It's okay. I ate more meat a few days ago, and these days I mostly eat fruits and vegetables. The egg white doesn't have any fishy smell, but rather a little sweet. Chuntao ate it without thinking too much.

He felt refreshed for sure, and the overall product development was going smoothly. When Xia Lin went out again, his face was beaming and he was full of energy.

I have to say that Chuntao is so beautiful and sensible. She is worthy of being selected by the royal family. It is hard not to like her.

"Sister Chuntao, you are a husband now. Have you ever thought about not serving others? If you have this idea, I will open a store and a house for you in the town. What business do you want to start?"

Chun Tao was immediately moved. She glanced at Xia Lin, moved her lips, and then smiled softly: "Sir, please stop joking. I am not worthy of you."

"Why not? Even the best sister Chuntao in the world is worthy of me. Come on, there's no need to be polite between us."

"But if... this is the case, how will you eat and live, sir?"

"I'll just go to your place to eat, it's only a few steps away." Xia Lin gestured the distance from the government office to Dou Fu Lane: "It's only a few dozen steps away."

"That……"

"Can I stay at your place tonight?"

Chuntao's face turned red all of a sudden. She nodded rather embarrassedly, and then whispered, "I think... My Lord, I don't know either. Can you give me some advice?"

"Hmm~" Xia Lin thought for a moment: "With your looks, you must open a jade shop. It just so happens that I'm working with a South Vietnamese businessman who has a very good jade mine. I plan to let you run it exclusively. You go choose a place, and don't worry about the rest. I'll arrange everything for you."

Chun Tao raised her eyes and looked at Xia Lin: "Sir, I don't know how to thank you..."

"Then give me a hug."

"Ah?" Chuntao looked up at the people coming and going around her, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, but still took two steps forward and threw herself into Xia Lin's arms.

Of course people around will look at them. Although the society is open-minded, even if it is fourteen or five hundred years later, people will still take a few more glances when they see this handsome man and beautiful woman hugging on the street. It is quite pleasing to the eyes.

In fact, at this moment, Chuntao had already thought to herself, "Fuck the little prince!". No matter what, she could be said to have been completely and thoroughly reborn as a human being. She was no longer a despised slave, but a decent person who could kiss people in the street without being dragged out and beaten to death.

Little prince? What little prince? Even if he is His Majesty, so what? He still sends her around? "Sir, there are so many people watching..."

Xia Lin raised his head and shouted, "What are you looking at? Don't you have a woman at home?"

This shout made Chuntao even more ashamed, but everyone else smiled.

Before evening, Xia Lin had helped Chuntao choose a shop and a house. The house was not big, but the small courtyard at the entrance was enough. However, this made Chuntao cry. She hugged Xia Lin and cried for about an hour and a half in the empty courtyard, saying a lot of little words, which made people feel pity for her.

A lowly person cannot have property. Without property, she cannot settle down. She will always be a beast of burden for others, and can be taken and taken away at will. If the young prince had not used her to win over others without touching her, she would not know how she would be played. Now she really has no more requests. She just wants to live a stable life. If she can give birth to a boy or a girl for Master Xia, it would be even better. If she can get a status as a mother by having a child, there will be nothing left for her to worry about.

But she also knew in her heart that this request was a bit excessive. After all, even for someone as wealthy as Miss Tang, it would be impossible to compete with the little princess.

But this is good enough. I have my own business and my own home. What else can I want?

She must stay in the yamen that night. After all, we can't let her sleep in an unfinished house.

"I want to plant a peach tree in that house. Also, I want to use the glass produced in the county for the windows. Is that okay? I think it's bright and beautiful. I like it. Um... I have to ask someone to dig a well. It would be troublesome if there is no well in the yard. No, I have to choose some good bedding tomorrow. I heard that we need to light firecrackers when we move into the new house. We have to buy some firecrackers. My lord, please think about what else we need to prepare?"

After the intimate evening, Chuntao, who was usually taciturn, seemed like a different person. Her mind was full of thoughts about decorating her new home. This made Xia Lin realize that the cool sister Chuntao was no different from other girls.

"What are you thinking about? Come with me to the woodworking factory tomorrow to choose a set of nanmu furniture. They are all the nanmu left over from the shipbuilding for His Majesty. Anyway, they are all included in the account. As for the bedding, I will ask them to move the beds that His Majesty sleeps on to us. They are made of goose down! You don't need to dig a well, just bring in a stream of mountain spring water. When the water tower is built in a few days, we can use tap water directly. The peach tree is easy to deal with. I see that Mr. Huang in the town has an 80-year-old peach tree that was transplanted from his home. I will go and dig it up for you."

"Goose down!" Chun Tao sat up suddenly. "That's too extravagant... Will it cause any trouble? Would it be considered as presumptuous if we used it?"

"If I say it's goose down, it's goose down. If I say it's duck down, it's duck down. The technology is in my hands. They can't even understand it, so who knows. As for the rest, don't worry about it." Xia Lin held Chuntao's bare thighs. "Besides, your house is only nineteen steps away from the county government office... It's farther for me to go to the toilet than to your house."

Chun Tao was still a little worried. She asked anxiously, "What if someone investigates? My Lord, you still have to be on guard. You can't trust even the young prince. The people in the royal family don't care about relatives or friends. If you are useless, they will kill you at will."

"Don't worry, the account has been balanced long ago, but the key is that there are still hundreds of thousands of taels of silver left... I know how kind-hearted I am. I have made such a good account. When I compare myself with those big guys, I am so conscientious that I now have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver left... Those guys can charge 40 taels of silver for an egg. My god... they are really pig-brains."

"That's because you don't know much. When I was a maid for the young prince, I heard them talk about how the late emperor was simple and could not bear to throw away torn clothes, so he patched them up. Each patch cost fifty taels of silver."

"This story sounds very familiar." Xia Lin laughed: "But it's true, these people... Oh. Go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow morning to deal with the theater business."

"Hmm..." Chun Tao crawled under the blanket and pressed against Xia Lin's body, and asked softly, "Master, do you still want it?"

"Wait until I'm free. I have a whole day to do tomorrow. When I'm free, you'll see me fight you for 3,500 rounds!"

"Um……"

The next morning, Master Xia really got up early, went to the theater and began to lecture the courtesans: "You all have debts. It's not that you, Master Xia, are stingy, but there is no such thing as a free gift in the world. You may have become lovers, but it is only natural to pay back your debts. Do you have any objection?"

The girls were actually very happy, and of course they had no objection. It was much better to owe money than to be ruined in that whorehouse for life. Even Miss Tingyun, who owed the most, had no objection. She thought about it all night yesterday. She couldn't pay it back anyway, so she thought of what to do. If it didn't work, she could just take her out to have a baby. Who wouldn't be able to mess around? Besides, she had the status of a good man, so could she be killed?

"So in the days ahead, your main job will be to perform in the theater here. The ticket revenue will be your debt repayment indicator, and you will get different shares according to your performance. My preliminary estimate is that if everything goes well, the longest period will be about ten years. As for your food, clothing, housing and transportation, the theater will definitely not take care of them, but you will be paid a monthly salary every month for your own use. And every quarter, a bonus will be issued according to your income. How much is it depends on your ability." Xia Lin paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. When he saw Miss Tingyun's pose, When she was sullen, she said, "Le Mengyun! Don't give me that stinky face! Do you want to work? If you don't, there are plenty of people who will. Tomorrow I will send you back to your whorehouse. A large number of tourists are coming, so you should perform well. You represent high art, not your coquettish tactics. It will definitely be harder than before. If any of you are not happy, tell me as soon as possible. I will send you all back. I will take the loss, but don't let the reputation of the Grand Theater be ruined, which will embarrass everyone and cut off your sisters' financial resources."

Miss Yun was immediately stunned, and without saying anything, she put on a smiling face: "Master Xia... I'm thinking about the role..."

Xia Lin rolled his eyes at her, then pointed at Feng Lingyue who looked like a fangirl: "Come with me."
